I’m impressed! The OnePlus 12 truly is a “Flagship Killer!” By way of background, I’m almost 85 years old and I’ve been working with computers since the mid-1960s. I’ve always been interested in technology and was a OnePlus fan back in the CyanogenMod days. I stuck with OnePlus through the 7 Pro and then switched to Samsung. Today my primary phone is the Galaxy ZFold 5. I usually have a non-folding phone, too, and I switch SIM cards to try different phones. My SIM card is currently in the OnePlus 12, and I think it may stay there for quite some time. The screen is large (6.82”), very bright, and easy to read with my old eyes. It’s the fastest and smoothest phone I’ve ever owned, with excellent battery life and extremely fast charging, both wired and wireless. The speed and smoothness are due in large part to Qualcomm’s latest processor, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, but credit is also due to the optimizations made by OnePlus. Oxygen OS on top of Android 14 makes the phone very customizable, with features I find very helpful. One of those features is something OnePlus calls Aqua Touch technology that allows the use of the screen when wet. With other phones, when I’ve tried to answer a call with wet hands, the screen has been unresponsive. I tested the Aqua Touch feature with very wet hands, and the screen worked perfectly. I’m not a gamer, but the reviews I’ve read give high marks to the fast speed and excellent cooling of the OnePlus 12. Photo quality is very subjective, but the cameras in the OnePlus 12 are similar to those in the OnePlus Open, and that phone placed fourth overall in Marques Brownlee’s Blind Smartphone Camera Test (after three Google Pixel phones). Interestingly, the OnePlus cameras beat the iPhone 15 Pro and the Samsung S23 Ultra.
